Alveolar hydatid disease in Minnesota. First human case acquired in the contiguous United States
Authors: W. G. Gamble
Journal: JAMA (1979)

A 56-year-old woman from southwestern Minnesota underwent an extended left hepatic lobectomy to remove a large multinodular mass with a necrotic central cavity. The clinical, serological, and pathological findings led to the diagnosis of alveolar hydatid disease, and specific identification of<i>Echinococcus multilocularis</i>was achieved by growing mature larvas in voles inoculated intraperitoneally with tissue from the hepatic lesions. The patient probably acquired her infection some years previously from pet cats or dogs that had become infected by ingesting infected rodents. In North America<i>E multilocularis</i>is enzootic in the northern tundra zone of Alaska and Canada. Since 1964 the cestode has been recognized with increasing frequency in several north-central states, including Minnesota. The parasite may extend its range farther south, since suitable animal hosts occur throughout the United States. (<i>JAMA</i>241:904-907, 1979)
Continuing Medical Education
Authors: Marvin E. Johnson
Journal: JAMA (1983)

<h3>Physician's Recognition Award</h3> An important event in continuing medical education (CME) in 1983 was the publication and distribution of the new information booklet for the American Medical Association Physician's Recognition Award (PRA). This new edition presents an innovative rearrangement of the material by dividing it into two parts. The first part contains information for physicians who wish to complete the PRA application. The second part contains information for organizations and institutions providing CME programs. This division expedites the use of the information booklet for the physician user or a program provider that is seeking information about the policies and procedures associated with the award. Most of the material was completely rewritten to bring it up to date and to provide clarification. A valuable addition to the booklet is the inclusion of an abridged section of Report A of the Council on Medical Education, which was adopted by the AMA House

Journal: Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics (1982)

The title of this book 'Psychotherapy in the hospital' concerns a particular German topic: The psychotherapeutic-psychosomatic inpatient wards in specific hospital settings, especially in university clinics, independent of departments of psychiatry and other clinicomedical units as well as the special psychotherapeutic-psychosomatic hospital which includes the possibility for patients' long-term stay.In the view of a German doctor, who frequently visits his American colleagues, it is very surprising that these inpatient wards and special hospitals do not generally exist in the United States.The reasons for this may be the following: On the one hand, the relationship between psychosomatics and the clinicomedical disciplines are closer in Germany than in the United States, and on the other, the foundation of these institutions is obviously highly favored by the type of health system that exists in Germany.This book includes the follow'ing five main chapters: The ward as a therapeutic group; The Therapeutic Team and the Nurse; The Time Limitation and the Way to Rehabilita tion; Particular Treatment Modalities within the Framework of Inpatient Ward Psycho therapy; The Traditional Relationships between Doctor and Patient in the Hospital.A supplementary chapter concerns the topics: Psychotherapy in a Psychiatric Clinic.On the basis of these various topics and the presentations of 25 groups of authors a lot of inter esting details are given.These presentations include relevant experience material not only for the expert in this field but also for those colleagues who are interested in dealing initially with these problems.In this book, the high value of the inpatient ward psychotherapy, as a special variant of psychotherapy, is demonstrated.These 25 presentations were given at the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Niedersachsisches Landeskrankenhaus Gottingen-Tiefenbrunn, which was formerly a psy chiatric hospital and now serves as a special psychotherapeutic-psychosomatic hospital.This hospital characterizes an excellent functional organization and differentiated psycho therapeutic stragegies which are particularly based on psychoanalytic techniques and their modifications.With regard to the editors of this book.

Wilms' Tumor
Authors: Harry C. Bishop
Journal: JAMA (1976)

The editors have assembled a monograph reputed to be the first comprehensive review on Wilms' tumor. Fourteen chapters written by 15 experts are included. Most of the authors are from the United States, but two are from Great Britain, one from France, and one from Australia. The compendium deals not only with the clinical and radiological diagnosis, surgical management, and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also includes information about the historical background of the tumor, its pathology, and some information on biochemical and immunological studies as well as genetic and teratogenic aspects of Wilms' tumor. A fascinating chapter deals with "Wilms' Tumor in Domesticated and Experimental Animals and In Vitro." Additional information is given about bilateral Wilms' tumors and those referred to as "congenital." As might be expected with varied authorship, there is considerable overlap and some repetition of the same facts. Each chapter ends with a short summary allowing

Cocaine Toxicity
Authors: Stephen H. Miller
Journal: JAMA (1978)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> I was extremely pleased to see the discussion on cocaine as a topical nasal anesthetic in the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS section (239:235, 1978). There is a large body of literature on the absorption of cocaine from mucous membranes, but unfortunately, much of this information is rarely referred to by those who most frequently use cocaine. The suggestion has often been made that the maximum safe dose of cocaine quoted in the literature, 80 to 200 mg,<sup>1</sup>is too low and that large numbers of physicians often use doses in excess of this amount.<sup>2</sup>As mentioned by Rudolph deJong, MD, few of those reporting use of higher doses comment on the incidence of side effects nor their rationale for using higher doses. Furthermore, he makes an incisive point by stating that "no dose of any local anesthetic ever is 'safe.' " Therefore, logically the minimum amount of

Military medicine responds to Ecuador crisis
Authors: P. Gunby
Journal: JAMA (1996)

WHAT LITERALLY began as a nightmare has ended as an initial realization of US military medicine's dream of reacting to human need on a global basis. Many people in a densely packed neighborhood of the Ecuadorian coastal community of Manta already were asleep when, about 10:30 PM October 22, the multinational crew of a US-flagged 4-engine civilian 707 cargo jet guided the big plane on takeoff from a nearby runway. Then something—loss of thrust from both engines on 1 wing has been suggested—went terribly wrong. As the Peruvian and Americans in the cockpit struggled to gain altitude, the big jet hit a church steeple in Manta. Flaming jet-propellant fuel sprayed from its torn tanks. In addition to the 3-man aircrew, more than 20 persons on the ground were killed and more than 60 were injured. Because a high percentage of the injuries involved burns, requiring specialized care that placed severe

Treatment and surgical staging of testicular and primary extragonadal germ cell cancer
Authors: M. B. Garnick
Journal: JAMA (1983)

Fifty-four patients with disseminated germ cell cancer (primary testicular, 39; primary extragonadal, 15) were treated with vinblastine sulfate, bleomycin sulfate, and cisplatin, followed by tumor-reductive surgery. Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride were given after surgery. Thirty-five patients with primary testicular disease achieved a complete remission; two of these relapsed from complete remission, and one died in complete remission. Median follow-up was 37 months. Ten (67%) of the 15 patients with extragonadal cancer achieved a complete remission; five of these relapsed from complete remission, and only four remained in complete remission for a median of 40 months. Thirty-eight patients underwent surgery after chemotherapy. Eleven had residual cancer, 14 had teratoma, and 13 had fibrosis. The use of remission-induction chemotherapy followed by surgical removal of residual abnormalities can cure most patients with disseminated testicular cancer. These same therapeutic strategies are inadequate in the treatment of patients with primary extragonadal disease. (<i>JAMA</i>1983;250:1733-1741)
Bicycle-associated head injuries and deaths in the United States from 1984 through 1988. How many are preventable?
Authors: J. J. Sacks
Journal: JAMA (1991)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To estimate the potential benefits from more widespread bicycle safety helmet use. <h3>Design.</h3> —Review of death certificates and emergency department injury data for 1984 through 1988. Categorization of deaths and injuries as related to bicycling and head injury. Using relative risks of 3.85 and 6.67 derived from a case-control study and varying helmet usage from 10% to 100%, population attributable risk was calculated to estimate preventable deaths and injuries. <h3>Setting.</h3> —Entire United States. <h3>Main Outcome Measures.</h3> —Numbers of US residents coded as dying from bicycle-related head injuries, numbers of persons presenting to emergency departments for bicycle-related head injuries, and numbers of attributable bicycle-related deaths and head injuries. <h3>Main Results.</h3> —From 1984 through 1988, bicycling accounted for 2985 head injury deaths (62% of all bicycling deaths) and 905 752 head injuries (32% of persons with bicycling injuries treated at an emergency department). Forty-one percent of head injury deaths and 76% of head injuries occurred among children less than 15 years of age. Universal use of helmets by all bicyclists could have prevented as many as 2500 deaths and 757 000 head injuries, ie, one death every day and one head injury every 4 minutes. <h3>Conclusions.</h3> —Effective community-based education programs and legislated approaches for increasing bicycle safety helmet usage have been developed and await only the resources and commitment to reduce these unnecessary deaths and injuries.

Births in Great Britain resulting from assisted conception, 1978-87. MRC Working Party on Children Conceived by In Vitro Fertilisation.

Journal: BMJ (1990)

To describe the characteristics at birth of children conceived by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or by gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and to assess whether they differ from those of children conceived naturally.Survey of children resulting from IVF or GIFT and comparison of their characteristics at birth with national statistics.England, Scotland, and Wales from 1978 to 1987.1267 Pregnancies conceived by IVF or GIFT, which resulted in 1581 liveborn or stillborn children.Sex ratio, multiplicity, gestational age at birth, birth weight, stillbirth rate, perinatal and infant mortality, and prevalence of congenital malformations.The ratio of male to female births was 1.07:1; 23% (249/1092) of the deliveries were multiple births compared with 1% for natural conceptions; 24% (278) of 1015 deliveries were preterm compared with 6% in England and Wales; 32% (406) of 1269 babies weighed less than 2500 g compared with 7% in England and Wales. The high percentage of preterm deliveries and of low birthweight babies was largely, but not entirely, due to the high frequency of multiple births. The rate of stillbirth, perinatal mortality, and infant mortality were twice the national average, these excesses being due to the high frequency of multiple births. One or more major congenital malformations were detected during the first week of life in 35 (2.2%) of 1581 babies. This figure is comparable with population based estimates of the prevalence of congenital malformations. The types of malformations reported varied, and the number of each specific type was small. The health of the children was not evaluated beyond the perinatal period.Multiple pregnancies often result from assisted conception and are the main determinant of the outcome of the pregnancies and of the health of the children at the time of birth. Congenital malformations are comparatively rare, so larger numbers of children need to be studied before firm conclusions can be drawn. The pooling of data from different countries is recommended.
